The Garner Lab for Animal Morphology & Mechanics (GLAMM) is in full force at #SICB2026! Check out some of our work studying adhesion and locomotion in geckos, anoles, and sea urchins @sicb.bsky.social @sicb-dcb-dvm.bsky.social
Conference schedule graphic for SICB 2026 (Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology) held January 3-7 in Portland, Oregon. The image shows the Garner Lab for Animal Morphology & Mechanics logo featuring a gear with a sea urchin, lizard, wave, and leaf inside it, alongside the conference banner with Portland skyline. Below are seven presentation listings with gecko, anole, and sea urchin silhouettes: Sunday 8 AM, B114 - Dr. Benjamin Wasiljew on anole jumping performance; Sunday P1-167 - Nathan Bailey on sea urchin tube feet mechanics under hyposalinity; Monday P2-224 - Dr. Benjamin Wasiljew on gecko claw morphology; Tuesday P3-015 - Andrew Moura on sea urchin tube foot attachment on rough surfaces; Tuesday P3-116 - Sadie Heidemann on gecko tail role in locomotion; Tuesday P3-184 - Aaliyah Roberts on setal field configuration in natural and urban populations of anoles; Tuesday P3-190 - Sarah Juan on regional variation in gecko adhesive microstructures.

I'm excited to announce that my lab is moving to the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University in January next year! Can't wait to join amazing new colleagues and be able to run outside year round to work with lizards on campus and sea urchins at the FAU Marine Lab!

Taking a much needed R&R after 3 years of #NewPILife. Loving the ocean and breeze today

Our lab at Syracuse University's College of Arts & Sciences and BioInspired Institute is actively recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher and 1-2 Graduate Students to study the form and function of animal attachment. Please share widely! 🧪🦑🦎#AcademicSky More info: agarner.expressions.syr.edu/join-us
Advertisement for postdoctoral researcher and graduate students in the Garner Organismal Attachment Lab at Syracuse University. Areas of interest include animal attachment, functional morphology, biomechanics, bio-inspired design.

Hi! I’m starting the transition from the former bird app and I’m looking forward to making new connections! I’m an Assistant Professor of Integrative Animal Biology at Syracuse University. Our lab studies the form and function of animal attachment, primarily working with lizards and sea urchins! 🧪🦎🦑
